You must obtain approval to audit within the first four weeks for full semester courses or within the first two weeks for courses scheduled less than a full semester. Audited courses carry no credit. Audit forms may be obtained at the Registrar’s Office.

Please contact the Cashier’s Office at 203 837-8381 with questions in regard to tuition waivers for senior citizens looking to receive credit for courses.
